The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, Aramis Black by Aramis is a woody-aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of sophistication and depth. The composition opens with elemi and mastic, creating an aromatic freshness before transitioning into a heart of cognac and juniper, which add a layer of warmth and complexity. Leather and incense notes in the base provide an earthy, smoky undertone, balancing the overall fragrance with a subtle intensity that feels both contemporary and lasting.
Aramis Black blooms gradually on the skin, so it's best to apply two sprays initially. The aromatic top notes are brief but impactful, while the smoky base develops over time. This fragrance is best for evening wear or cooler weather when its warmth can truly shine.
